Product Details

The leather-lined vinyl women's 800 classic roller skate from Chicago Skates features eyelets and speed hooks. It has a polished aluminum chassis with double-adjustable aluminum trucks and jump bar. This skate is also equipped with 58-mm high-rebound urethane wheels and fast bearings.

Ordered 2 exact pair, one from Spts.Auth and one from another retailer. Both pair were different! One pair had wide tongue, quality laces, thicker boot material but CROOKED BACK WHEEL! The other pair had slimmer tongue, cheaply woven laces, thinner boot material and was made 2 months after the first pair (date of origin inside skate). The wheels were straight on 2nd pair, but both pair were extremely heavy at just under 4 lbs. PER SKATE! Sticky, slow turning wheels. No arch support at all. Loose lining around toe area. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Chicago used to be a good skate, but not anymore. Put your money toward a better brand and avoid this shoddy workmanship. I returned both pair ASAP.

These skates are ok, they just need better Bearings, as long as you know this, they are ok for beginners, if you want speed upgrade your bearings and wheels and you will see better feel and movement on the rink floor.

I purchased these skates because I wanted to recapture the fun of roller skating at my local skate rink. These skates fit just fine; I usually wear a size 10 in womens shoes, and that is what I purchased. But after one attempt around the rink, I knew there was something wrong. I took them off and asked the skate rental person to look at them and see if he could figure out why the wheels wouldn't turn. He said that sometimes the wheels are too tight out of the factory and need to be loosened. But even after they loosened the wheels, I still felt like there was something wrong with the wheels. I rented a pair of skates from the rink and could tell immediately the difference between my new skates and the rental skates. On the rental skates, I glided around the rink very easily. On my purchased skates I had to struggle to make myself go. The rink manager spoke with me and told me that the skates I had bought were not very good quality skates and that nothing could be done to make them worthwhile...

Item arrived quickly, however the box was extremely damaged.....almost as if were wet at some point. If this had been a gift I would have been utterly humiliated. Also...no spare laces? I have been buying skates for over 35 years and this is the ONLY time the skates have not come with spare laces.

I added roller skating to my exercise routine. It certainly cannot get boring. Just going up and down my street gets my heart rate up! I can't always get to the local roller rink so that works out just fine.

As other reviews I got 1 size smaller than my shoe size and they fit perfect, they are comfortable and they ride smoothly. I am no spring chicken but once I put them on , Stella got her groove back.a fun form of exercise that I truly enjoy.
